    Do you have a bunch of garbage in your ~/.local/share/applications? How is Krita installed? The only thing I can think of is maybe there's somehow a desktop for individual filetypes.

      Nothing about Krita. And I just installed it through pacman.

        Not really sure what the issue is then. Looks OK on my machine :

        file extensions on linux desktop is a joke

        The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that KDE and GNOME differ in how they implement the relevant XDG specs, leading to them disagreeing on what application should be selected for example. I don't think there's anything horribly wrong with the underlying system, but shit like that never gets fixed.

          Arch is actually retarded with .desktop files for some reason. On a fresh install of whatever DE your menu is going to be cluttered with avahi bullshit you never use.

      Ah, seems like the filetype thing is right. (/usr/share/applications)

        ahh hmmm.... I wonder if that's actually a GNOME/GTK "Open With". Unfortunately, that would likely explain the unintentionally displayed file association .desktop files. Maybe this can be fixed in Krita upstream, if there's a way to get it to hide all-but org.kde.krita.desktop.

          update: Nope, this is a bug in that Open With... selector. The desktop files, at least on my machine, have NoDisplay=true in them, which is literally what the XDG spec says to do. If you can figure out where-ever that Open With dialog comes from, please consider reporting the bug 🙁

            Yep, I've also got NoDisplay=true, and the open with dialogue is from Thunar.
            Seems like this has been brought up previously though:

          It some retardation from Krita developers who decided to make dedicated desktop entry for each mime type instead of writing all mime-types in a single desktop entry.

            Unfortunately this is a standard way to specify "default" associations. For Krita it's not necessary because most (all?) of the execs are just "krita %F" but it's absolutely necessary for Wine for example, because the execs are different for each one.
            The way this works is that the "mime specific" association would show up as an application that is able to handle the file format even if it is NoDisplay=true. Then, to display all applications, you just display everything that is NOT NoDisplay=true.

            Yep, I've also got NoDisplay=true, and the open with dialogue is from Thunar.

            Welp. That's a shame.
            XFCE and LXDE really seem to have trouble with maintenance.

        This is exactly why I despise XDG and freedesktop in general

            It is fairly standard to break it out into separate files, especially if you might need a different exec line for different mimetypes.
